I found reference to it on the "All Music" site. I tried to find "A Trip in the Country" on Amazon and Border, but no luck. But here I am a single boy, unemployed and everything, somebody better'd stop and worry about me!" Remember my favorites of the novelty being "It takes all kinds to make a world" and "Private John Q" - "I read it in the papers and see it on the television, everyone's a talkin' about World War III. I sang along with all those songs for hours on end. You bet, as a little kid in the late 60's, sprinkled in with Hag and Buck, my mom & dad had the "Dang Me" album. The way the song modulates in the bridge and come back again. I have always thought that one of the most interesting songs Roger ever did, (I'm assuming he wrote it) was Engine, Engine Number Nine. Roger was a great writer and entertainer.He and Buddy were a great combination on this album. "A Trip In The Country" is one of my favorites too! Check out the C6 ride Buddy takes on the "original" version of "Tall Tall Trees"
And his singing was very serious and with much heart. Just beautiful songs that Roger wrote for other stars.
What is so delightful about it is, there is none of the "Dang me" stuff on there. I treasure this album as well as any I have ever bought. Incidently the tune, "When Two Worlds Collide" is on there and Buddy really does a great turn around on it. But, hey, what do I know? Never met the man.įor those of you that like Roger Miller, see if you can find an album of country songs he wrote where Buddy Emmons played steel on every song. But I don't think he was "overlooked" I believe he made quite a bundle on his songs! Of course, he had large splashes with his 'novelty' type songs, which may have overshadowed his more "serious" songs, but I do think he was appreciated during his lifetime. "When Two Worlds Collide" has always been one of my favorites too. I agree that Roger Miller was a great song-writer. Larry mentioned that Roger once told him that many of his songs were written with the steel guitar in mind and thus made some pretty good steel instrumentals. That's always been one of my favorite Roger Miller tunes. Larry Sasser did an old Roger Miller song - "When Two Worlds Collide" - at the convention in St. Do you think he's overlooked as one of the great songwriters? Just wondering if anyone likes him as much as I do. Your profile | join | preferences | help | search Classic country shuffle styles for Band-in-a-Box, by BIAB guru Jim Baron.
